Teresa is survived by her husband of fifty-nine years, Mike Casida and her four children Kim Casida Milligan, David Casida, Michael Casida II and Jonathon Casida. Teresa was born in Denver, Colorado, and she was raised in Johnson County, Kansas. Teresa attended Shawnee Missions East High School, and she attended Baker University where she studied Elementary Education.

Teresa and Mike met at college at Baker University, where they began dating which eventually led to marriage. Soon after, they began a family and lived in various cities including Kansas City, Tulsa and Dallas.
